By electrical conduit I am assuming they are going to buy a length of metal pipe that electricians stuff wires into. I can't offer any help as to the physics, though!
Homework Statement
Frame S and S' are moving with respect to each other in the x-axis with some velocity. An event happens in S' at x'_1 = 1.0 c*year at t'_1 = 1.0 year. Another event happens at t'_2 = 2.0 c*year at t'_2 = 0.5 year. The two events are simultaneous at some point in S. The...
Hey everyone,
I have a speech that I was assigned last night, informative in nature. I am thinking of possibly giving a speech on LaTeX use. It's a short speech, five to seven minutes in length. So I am planning to give some examples of what LaTeX can be used for. Here is the question...
Also, in the few days until the books arrive in the mail, I'm going to take your advice and go back through my calc. books again to see if I can't gain any more insight from those.
C++: An Active Learning Approach by Albert and Breedlove is great, even if you don't have any programming experience. The examples and exercises in the book are scaled down from real world problems. There is a slight bias towards Visual Studio as the environment, but one of the nicest things...
As far as electronics goes, are you looking for more electrical engineering or electronics technician self-training? Furthermore, what level are you at now?
If you're an absolute beginner, I would highly recommend Getting Started in Electronics by Forrest Mims. If you wanted to cough up a...
Update - I just ordered the Feynman Lectures, hopefully they will help. I have a feeling they might be over my head, but I'm willing to give it a shot. I'm doing well in my classes as far as grades go, just wanting to learn something that is bugging me.
First, thanks for replying!
I don't think that the problem is my textbooks, they are really good. I think that I'm the problem. I don't have problems with doing the math, I just have a problem with doing the physics that relates to the math. I know that sounds weird.
I think that part...
I am currently in calculus based undergraduate physics. I have questions that I can't seem to find answers to in my textbook. Can anyone suggest a really good book about the nature of conservative fields (gravity, electrostatic, etc) and the related math? I'm already done with the vector...
Oh, thanks!
So then,
\Delta y = v_{0} * t - \frac{a * (t/2)^{2}}{2}
\Delta y = 4.24*10^6 \frac{m}{s} * t - \frac{3.5 * 10^{14} \frac{m}{s^{2}} * t}{2}
Setting vertical displacement equal to 0.02m, and solving for t, I get
t = 6.416 * 10^{-9} s
for the time when...
Homework Statement
A uniform, upward electric field E of magnitude 2.00x10^3 N/C has been set up between two horizontal plates by charging the lower plate positively and the upper plate negatively. The plates have length L = 10.0 cm and separation d = 2.00 cm. An electron is then shot...
